Chapter 266: Liangzhou's Hospitality

A few days later, Gao Yue proposed in public that he would go to Liangzhou in person to meet Zhang Yu. Everyone was very surprised, and persuaded one after another, Gao Yue's status is precious, if it is intended to communicate with Liangzhou, then it is enough to send an envoy, why should he go in person. Feng Liang, who knew the secret story, also hinted that Gao Yue didn't have to do it himself, and he should do it for him. Gao Yue politely declined, but said that he would go in person to plan for the future from the overall situation. Zhang Yu will be unexpectedly moved, which will make the relationship between Qin and Liang more and more unbreakable.

Everyone expressed concern about Gao Yue's safety and once again blocked it. Although Yang Ke didn't know why Gao Yue insisted on going to Liangzhou in person, he thought that there must be something very important and not easy to disclose for the time being, so he didn't ask.

"Colleagues, but rest assured. If there is chaos today, there is a crisis in all directions, but if you go to Liangzhou alone, the lord will not only be in no danger, but will be treated as a distinguished guest by Governor Zhang Dadu, and he will be treated preferentially and sent off. The truth is easy to know when you think about it. Since the lord is determined to go, he can take advantage of the fact that there is no war for the time being, and he can rest assured that he will go west. It's just that you always have to go and go back quickly. ”

When the civil and military forces saw Yang Ke's statement, they also closed their voices. Gao Yue gave some instructions on military and political affairs, took Zhou Panlong and a hundred personal guards, and headed for Liangzhou.

Liangzhou, located in the northwest and encompassing the entire Hexi Corridor, was an important feudal town set up by the Central Plains Dynasty to fetters, supervise, and communicate with the Western Regions in the extreme west. During the Jin Dynasty, Liangzhou had nine counties under its jurisdiction, and it was a large state with a large territory of the country.

The capital Guzang City, also known as Gaizang, is translated from the language of the northwest alien race, the city is in the shape of a dragon, also known as Wolong City, and is also known as the city that never sleeps. Due to the local Han, Qiang, Xiongnu and other ethnic groups living together, and located in the main road of Chinese and Western transportation, it soon became a rich town in Hexi. Cao Wei of the Three Kingdoms placed Liangzhou and took Guzang as the governing place, which was the beginning of Guzang's governance of Liangzhou Prefecture.

In the first year of Yongning in the Western Jin Dynasty (301), Zhang Liang was the assassin of Liangzhou, and began to build Guzang City on a large scale. As the capital of Liangzhou and gradually developed into the largest city in the Western Regions, Guzang City is majestic and tall, prosperous and far beyond the ordinary. It deserves to be the political, military, economic, and cultural center of the West.

Zhang Liangyan used local talented people to jointly govern Liangzhou, taught agriculture and mulberry, established schools, blocked the invading Xianbei department, protected the territory and the people, and pacified the locality, making Liangzhou a shelter for the people to hide from the war in the east at that time. Zhang Liang is a talented and strategic man, and has governed Liangzhou for more than ten years, laying a strong and stable foundation. After his death, his eldest son Zhang Yu succeeded him as the pastor of Liangzhou, the governor of Liangzhou, and the prince of Xiping County. Through the careful management of his father and son, the land of Liangzhou, with its rich humanities and abundant military horses, is one of the strongest feudal domains in the world.

In April of the fifth year of Jianxing in the Western Jin Dynasty, inside and outside the city of Guzang, there were crowds of people, and almost 10,000 people were empty. The military flags fluttered on the head of the city, and the tall soldiers on both sides of the city were neatly lined up, solemn and upright. Under the canopy of brocade trees, dozens of important officials in Liangzhou are surrounding the two of them.

One of them is Mu Gaoyue of Qinzhou who came from afar. In front of him was Liangzhou Mu Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu is forty-seven years old this year, of medium height, and looks like an ordinary Confucian, but he exudes obvious power.

At this moment, he was smiling with a spring breeze on his face: "...... Therefore, there are eight methods of Zhou Li. It says that if the host and the guest are of the same honorable position, then he will go outside the gate to meet him. I am the shepherd of Liangzhou, and I am equal to Gao Gong, so I came to meet him outside the city, and I hope that there is no violation of etiquette. ”

Zhang Yu was surprised by Gao Yue's personal visit, and was very happy. Although Liangzhou is strong, it is located in the west after all, which is relatively remote and has never been valued by Middle Earth. Since the first public rail, there have been almost no famous people from the east in Guzang City, and it can be said that distinguished guests have not been in their homes for a long time. Although Gao Yue is not a famous family now, what kind of situation is it now, a hundred false names can't withstand a machete. Gao Yue rose strongly, not only swept through the northwest, defeated Sima Bao and replaced him, including Qinzhou, but also a master who had made the Huns Liu Yao suffer. It is not an exaggeration to say that Gao Yue is a person who is famous all over the world today.

Such a famous person suddenly came to visit in person, which surprised Zhang Yu, but also gave birth to a sense of satisfaction that was very respected and valued. Therefore, Zhang Yu not only mobilized almost the strength of the whole city and arranged a grand welcome ceremony, but also personally went out of the city to stand to greet him. He made up his mind in his heart that he wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with Gao Yue.

Gao Yue hurriedly thanked him and said respectfully: "Gong Zhang's words are too much, I don't dare to take it." Although they are both shepherds, Zhang Gonggao's mansion is famous and shocks the world; Hexi treasure land, transcendent states. I was originally a latecomer, and I admired and revered Zhang Gong in my heart, and I was willing to follow behind me, so I came uninvited and wanted to ask Zhang Gong for more advice in person. It is precisely to insist on greeting his sons and nephews, Zhang Gong should wait peacefully in the house, why are you still bothering to drive out of the city to greet you, my heart is ashamed and uneasy. ”

Being respected by Gao Yue in public, Zhang Yu was happy in his heart, smiling, took Gao Yue's hand, and in a crowd of congratulations and cheers, the two went to the city.

"Gao Gong! When I first came to my aunt, I saw the customs of Xizhou, how is it compared to the Central Plains? ”

Zhang Yu actually worked part-time as half a tour guide, and was not in a hurry to go to the mansion, but led Gao Yue to sightseeing at random inside and outside the city, so countless officials on both sides behind him accompanied him, and the group became tourists for the time being.

In his past and present lives, Gao Yue was also the first time to set foot in this prestigious land in the Western Regions. He turned his head around with some curiosity, and saw that the architectural styles inside and outside the city, the appearance and clothing of the people, and even the various shades in the eyes were indeed different from Xiangwu and even Chang'an. Immediately nodded while looking at it and sighed: "I came all the way to the west, the mountains and mountains, the desert and the big lakes, it is the bright moon out of the Tianshan Mountains, between the vast sea of clouds. The long wind is tens of thousands of miles, blowing the Yumen Pass. Although your land is not soft enough, it is more than vigorous, and it is really magnificent. Liangzhou is located in the northwest and really lives up to its name. ”

Zhang Wei shook his palms and laughed, stopped and reviewed: "Everyone says that the high envoy of Qinzhou is a gentleman, both civil and military, and unparalleled in the world. Today's encounter is really a feeling that it is better to hear than to see. Ladies and gentlemen, you can hear the poems that the high envoy Jun Shicai casually uttered, which is actually a masterpiece of poetry and poetry in the painting, excellent! ”

The entourage of the two parties was busy praising loudly, which was comparable to Chen Siwang. Gao Yue thanked him again and again, laughed a few words, and said to Li Shixian countless times in his heart that he couldn't help it. Everyone was on the side for the tour, so they slowed down, and turned to the Liangzhou Mushou and the Dadu Governor's Mansion without hurrying.

Entering together, the guests and hosts sat in columns. Waiting for the close attendants, maidservants to serve the fragrant tea, melons and fruits in place, Zhang Yu enthusiastically personally introduced to the guests, this is Gaochang's grapes, this is Yanqi's fragrant pears, that is Yiwu's melons and so on. After laughing and talking, Zhang Yu cleared his throat, glanced around, raised his hand and said loudly: "Zi said, I am very happy to have friends from afar." Today, I welcome distinguished guests in Liangzhou, fortunately. This prince is the lord of the state, and on behalf of the millions of Li Shu in Hexi, he welcomes the arrival of the high envoy of Qinzhou. ”

A chorus of praise rang out from the hall. As a result, Gao Yue and Zhang Weibin had an in-depth and extensive exchange of views on the current situation in the world, and expressed unanimous condemnation and extreme indignation against the Huns who subverted Sheji. At the same time, topics of common concern were discussed, and practical and effective suggestions and guidelines were put forward on the current situation and further development of bilateral relations between Qin and Liang. The talks between the two sides have always been held in a friendly and warm atmosphere. Qinzhou Huben Zhonglang General Zhou Panlong, Liangzhou Governor Shi Songpei, Taifu Sima Han Pu, Zuo General Wang and other officials from both sides were present at the talks.

Zhang Yu was very surprised by Zhou Panlong's white hair. After learning that this person is Wang Cai's mouth, he had single-handedly surrounded by the Hun soldiers, and killed the extremely fierce Qinzhou white-headed general who was like entering no man's land, and was greatly shocked at the moment, praising him for being a gift in this world, and alone rewarded the high-grade grape wine from the Western Regions, and gave him five hundred taels of gold to reward his bravery. Zhou Panlong's words were not good at communicating, and after stepping forward to thank him, he served on Gao Yue's side, standing with his eyes not squinting, Zhang Wei looked in his eyes, but admired in his heart.

After the talks, Zhang Yu feasted Gao Yue, and brought out boxes of high-quality grapes and wines during the banquet. Gao Yue was not good at drinking, but on this occasion, it was the first time he met Zhang Yu, so he couldn't help but express something, so under Zhang Yu's enthusiastic persuasion, he agreed to drink a few glasses. Between the staggering, it is not accompanied by the music of silk and bamboo, but the unique sound of the flute. When the slightly simple and majestic music of the Western Regions came into the ears, the lustrous and transparent sauce-red wine was poured into the jade-like celadon cup, and then slowly tasted into the lips and tongue, the high-quality feelings of hearing, vision, smell and taste made people feel relaxed and happy, and they couldn't help but feel the ups and downs.

"Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people came back to fight in ancient times? ”

The wine is in the belly and the guests are full. Gao Yue was unconsciously infected by the atmosphere, and thousands of thoughts surged in his mind, and he opened his mouth and chanted loudly this masterpiece of the Tang Dynasty Wang Han, which has been passed down through the ages, sonorous and agitated, with far-reaching implications.

After everyone in the hall was stunned, they erupted into loud cheers. The warriors heard the surging tide of sadness and heroism, but the literati and Confucian scholars were conquered by the rhyme, style and expansive pride in the poem's words and sentences, so everyone burst out of their hearts with sincere praise instead of flattery.

Gao Yue was slightly drunk, threw himself up, strode to the hall, and asked the guard's sword to come into his hand. Everyone didn't know what he was going to do, so they all quieted down and looked at him with curiosity.
